some parts of dakota on the actual current sea level and the sea level is the rising. is it how realistic is it? but took off that we'd be saved from thinking of the long term. okay, so in my institution. so previously i worked for the indonesian government this attempt or before i seem to know why. so we've conducted some research related to the laptop students into the car. to be honest, especially in the north, declared that the looks of the lens, oxygen is gain a decrease through the years. if you read the news publications by many of the scholars, every year before, just percent of laptops, it is happening. if you asked me, well, how would you see that as a promoting one? how would you be saved you? quite a very complicated area because everything's there. we also have a previous category here and also suburban which is very dense with the population. but if government tried to build your pipeline and then the best, the using the usage of the soil, well, i think we can see it as you fire. but before it's time, it's not an instant way by giving such awareness of wh

of course north dakota, we're a big energy state in addition to the bio-fuels that iowa has. small towns, new hampshire, small town valleys resinate and i think we'll have a great reception down there. >> neil: would you, if you don't make it as a republican nominee, would you support the person who eventually is? >> yeah, absolutely we would. if you want -- people want to learn more about our campaign, dougburgum.com and come and learny joe biden should be a one term president because we're very focused on three things in the campaign. one is the economy, number two is energy policy and three is national security. why those three? first of all, our energy policy in the biden administration is 180 degrees backwards. here we are, we're asking our adversaries and enemies to produce more energy when we, the united states, where we produce a cleaner, smarter and safer than anywhere and he wills should be providing all the energy to the u.s. and all the allies and if you cared about the environment, you'd want every drop of energy produced in the u.s.. that -- if we're doing that,

there's already built like dakota, that's also a different problem altogether. the residents of water on the whole, the sooner we'll also be connected with the salt water intrusion, they have lost one battle, but they are determined not to lose the next sea water level as we continue to rise . but to cut us rabbits thinking the residents say needs to be stop and joining me, nothing more context is linked up for the ph. d. v cetera. at the institute diversion studies at university of little 9 that'll salaam. and she has looked at the issue of a subsidence that is facing across the country. is a part of the the government in jakarta is investing in building a water pipe network. while at the same time going ahead with the construction to build a new cap. cool, all these extra actions seem contradictory, don't day. okay, uh, thank you for the interruptions. actually. yeah. same 2 years ago. your car has government has tried to build a new pipeline to the community. so they have to be to distribute to the fresh water to community. because we know in jakarta, most co

south dakota governor kristi noem joins us now.s not been developed is there anything we can do to change that? the american people are not onboard with high gas and oil prices. >> we need a new president. we need a new president in the white house that makes different decisions. president trump is right he did shut down anwr right away and killed the keystone pipeline that would come through south dakota to help us through the middle of the country get the resources we need to runner industries. we are stronger when we are energy independent and produce our own food and joe biden made much of those more vulnerable t1 president she called by the president a dictator yesterday. he also said when it comes to the balloon that president she was embarrassed. i had no idea it was there and angry it was shot down and according to the intelligence community that was the intelligence that should not have been said publicly. can you imagine if trump said that quick. >> i can't it is such a double standard. president biden has no idea how to

also contact the committee states in south dakota or other states, it's our own governors.m not surprised many people here have not bothered to have other. i'm not surprised we've not called other records. if we can't agree on assistance of climate change, productive conversation will be a lot harder emphasizing witnesses and have expertise in the issues we are discussing and i yield back. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from california. >> thank you, appreciate you both for traveling and bringing your expertise dealing with vast majority spaces of federal land in your state. the proposal says conservation leases are not intended to provide a mechanism for better uses such as mining, recreation and existing operations or state or tribal land use management. however, the penetration determines use such as energy production and the uses would not be allowed and could be riveted indefinitely even after the conservation lease which is locking up the lands indefinitely so we pretty much have a de facto national alignment for wilderness area, do you believe this is the ulti

and what is right for north dakota may not be right for another state.de locally. one of the most important things the ceo can do is really prioritize what that organization should focus on. and the federal government's got a limited set of powers that they're supposed to focus on. one of those is, of course, the border, the national security. there is so many things this he do related to the economy. i think that's where, as president, i would have to focus their time. and we -- the 50 states are actually 50 platforms of innovation. innovation has driven our country. we keep trying to come up with one size fits all solutions for almost everything. >> that is one of the most direct answers we've heard from republican contender so far on that question. very clear. i appreciate it. you also made a point not to campaign on culture war issues. but what is interesting is that most recently you signed at least eight laws focusing on the transgender community. i want to ask you about one. just two years ago in 2021 you vetoed a bill that would have severely res

create a more unstable land structure on the sub se, the dakota stuff. central government has set it in times to provide a pipe water system for all by 2030. this would help areas that already struggle with salt water. that crucially, it could also help this thinking process. time is of the essence. well, the government me soon start moving its capital to the island of border new most of jakarta, 11000000 residents. we will remain, but the transition won't come cheaply. it's all about the money. we have to have the funding and then we have to develop it, developing a system, a pipe system where you have to buried on the ground in the city. there's already built like dakota, that's also a different problem altogether. the residents of water on the whole, the sooner we'll also be connected with the salt water intrusion, they have lost one battle, but they are determined not to lose the next sea water level as we continue to rise . but to cut us rapids thinking the residents say needs to be stopped. and joining me not for more context is link up for the ph.

they built it in north dakota.he enters the race. >> yes, it is. you've said that people should not write him off. explain why. >> well, i think he has some things going for him. obviously, this is, i always like to say, we're through the looking glass politically. it is such a chaotic situation. who knows who can catch fire? but the other thing is he has a lot of wealth behind him. and he has candidates, maybe even governors of a state like north dakota don't have because of his success in the private sector. he personally has significant amounts of money that he can put into his campaign. when you look at what some of the other candidates are spending, or have raised so far. looking at a report like nikki haley, $5 million on hand. he can be competitive with them financially and not just out of his own pocket either. already he's up, they have multimillion-dollar ad buys between iowa and new hampshire. i mean, if his biggest obstacle right now is name i.d., that's something he can probably fix. >> as he moves fro

as will north dakota governor doug burgum.he field expanding because hopefuls see an opportunity as ron desantis struggles to become the undisputed challenger to donald trump. because, according to polling, one in four republicans are still looking for an alternative to the two frontrunners. and right now the frontrunners obviously donald trump way ahead of ron desantis who is in second place. >> ainsley: yeah. when you look at the democratic side, the latest fox news national poll, kennedy, bobby kennedy is at 16% and biden 62%. the cnn poll has he kennedy at 20% and biden at 60%. i know that biden is ahead by a lot. for kennedy to get 20%, about 20% of the voters. >> steve: tha25. >> ainsley: that's a big deal. >> brian: one in four voter looking for somebody else. quality of the today nikki haley to tim scott going on "the view" today. bret baier broke down the field as he sees it right now with trey gowdy. >> former new jersey governor chris christie obviously ran back in 2016. he was a large reason why marco rubio got kno

north dakota governor doug burgum was one of them.n new hampshire and joins us from manchester. good morning, governor. thank you for being with us. you're trying to break through all candidates running against donald trump, this indictment, whatever you may think about the details of it, creates an opportunity to talk about the responsibilities obligations and character of the job. so is it an opportunity for you and what are you going to do withly about the presidency being the hardest job in the world and part of your thesis was priorities and this is something that we've been talking about. we're on day four on the campaign trail. we're talking about that and sort of make sure that people understand who we are, why we're running and what we'll do. i'm a small town kid in north dakota, had jobs where you someho shower at the end of the day. my dad died when i was a freshman in high school. got a little bit of farmland and mortgaged that and that became the seed capital for a start-up software company which grew into a billion dolla

there is somebody, doug burgum in north dakota. i came up with him in the software industry and he created a massive software business that microsoft bought, but he's also been very successful as governor of north dakota. i know that because i invest in north dakota. i've met him and i've talked to him. he's the kind of, you know, skill set on both sides of the equation. he's not well known yet and people start saying, wait a second, this guy is a legislator and has executional skills it in business and maybe will work well in government instead of taking someone out of business and saying go figure out how legislation works because that's also a tricky game. in burgum you've got both. maybe he'll be an interesting candidate. neil: i remember when akoca was run for president and popular and i remember talking to him sometime a it's not going to work. a lot of wall street business types discover what might work for them in business doesn't necessarily translate to politics? >> i don't agree with that. i think business is politics ev

he is announcing on wednesday in fargo, north dakota. not really well-known nationally. guest: he is an interesting guy. he has a businessman. he took over a software company thate eventually sold to microsoft in a $2 billion deal and went on to become governor. he elected two terms and is going to try and run a campaign as a republican businessman, midwestern values guy who can appeal to voters who are looking for an alternative to donald trump. then main question or problem he's facing is nobody knows who the -- nobody knows who he is. laying the groundwork for the campaign, visiting the early primary states getting your name known to early-stage voters in particular. governor burgum is also very wealthy and spend millions of doar on gubernatorial races inorth dakota and expecting he's willing to spend a lot of money on a presidential bid. his path would be through iowa. can appeal to iowa voters in and if you can manage to place highly, that would be a springboard competing for the nomination. host: one more governor to ask about his glenn youngkin of virginia. he see
